Involvement makes you happy
Absence of unhappiness is the peace
Peace itself is not the happiness.
To involve is the happiness;
To withdraw is the peace.
Love, marry, deliver, toil, rear and serve.
You will have found your happiness.

Wish part 2
Wish
If we keep the faith on it
Maybe someday it will be answered
That is the power of human’s wish
But if you wish for somebody’s unhappiness
The part of the power
Will fall to ourselves
A man who thinks he is unhappy now
Will hate somebody and wish for their unhappiness
Without realize when wish for revenge
It will only cause the same pain to himself
Wish and keep wishing
Until one day
He also takes his beloved one in the wish for his own unhappiness

Mind your happiness
Subtract the moments of unhappiness.
That is not the life you have lived.
Learn to adapt to the environs
That you will have to live with.
Happiness rests with your haves,
Not with what you aspire to have.
Then readily comes happiness,
Which is the life you have lived.
Mahatma Gandhi found happiness
Even in the life of the prison.

Unhappiness is something we are never taught about; we are taught to expect happiness, but never a Plan B to use to use when the happiness doesn't arrive.

In comparing therefore the value of the same commodity, at different periods of time, the consideration of the comparative skill and intensity of labour, required for that particular commodity, needs scarcely to be attended to, as it operates equally at both periods.

The happiness and unhappiness of the rational, social animal depends not on what he feels but on what he does just as his virtue and vice consist not in feeling but in doing.

I won’t know what unhappiness is. If my life is not fully shattered
i love your line
but i would have wanted
it stated this way: i should have not
know what happiness is
until i met you
and slept with you,
i won't have known
what unhappiness was
until you junked me
and finally
i would have not known
what bliss is,
until i forgot you
babe.

The duel
Unhappiness is the product
Of happiness. So is theism
Of atheism; the light shows the dark
And the silence creates the sound.

The strongest predictor of unhappiness is anyone who has had a mental illness in the last 10 years. It is an even stronger predictor of unhappiness than poverty - which also ranks highly.
